Quote:Set in stone? Nah.Originally Posted by rian_frostdrake
we were discussing this in another thread, jay is very good at cryptic comments(he told us about the valkyrie costume set by referencing led zepplin's "immigrant song") so dont expect clear answers,, and that is probably why he is allowed to post this stuff, clear info would likely mess up marketing strategies of when the scheduled information is to come out,and could tip off competitors about coh's mid to long term plans. but if it takes a mixture of Robitussin and vodka to comprehend, then its all good. the bottom line is we will know only after it comes out, then we can look back and say "thats what the heck that meant" so dont consider anything here etched in stone, just bask in the unfiltered weirdness that is jay.
remember jay, you try to leave like the others and i will tackle you and drag you back.
Tantalizing enough to get me REALLY excited? Absolutely.

So SexyJay stopped by one of my global channels again this evening. Sadly, I logged in part way through and didn't get everything he said.

As you can tell from the first pic, this was going on from the moment I logged in, oblivious me missed it until I finished my first mission.

A short while ago, @SexyJay came into the CapeRadio global chat channel and began posting some fascinating and cryptic information about what we might be able to see in the future of City of Heroes.
I'll post the complete text here. What secrets might be uncovered from the deciphering of these tantalizing riddles?
Quote:I can see a few obvious hints in there, but perhaps some people with more in-depth knowledge of CoH lore than mine might be able to draw even more brilliant conclusions?Capesters of the night, we're going to begin soon, looking into the secrets of the unknown and the arcane. The power of the mind controls the show, but it's the whims of the many players that causes the myst to grow. I'll begin the chant when all are ready and on my command your wishes they must be ready. Here we go now, I'll warm up the magic, get what you will together and soon we'll start.
O Crystal Ball put together with tape, and glue; I am simply the messenger while the players wishes bring to you the true. Wanders with Mystic forces I command, show us what is in store with their future plans... I have spoken of what was shown in the past with what looked to be Atlantis, Pirates, Sheathes, Weapon Staffs. Costumes galore, options, powers, Incarnates and more, but what else could there be with so many here tonight? It's starting to glow everyone -- begin the feeding now without delay, I can't control it for long so we'll see how it sustains.. -- Give me now and we'll all see...
Here we are, the myst is reacting! Is everyone ready? The suspense is killing! My sexiness I do force in and the images that are showing though thin, will give us insight and now.. here it is, the first to your desires, your dreams of 2011; I see figures.
Yes! Figures, in a ball room setting? Is that a chandalier both beautiful and diamond? What is this function, I've never seen this place before. Somewhere new, with an older feeling. A throwback beyond the ages, where Might and Power were dealt with a Kingdom's clash; Knightly figures in more than a Tux. Elegant dresses, necklaces of pearls, could this be a dance also that requires more than one? A huge endowment of both lace and silk, along the floor does the King and Queen's outfits sit. Tails on make out are gathering around with weapons drawn from their scabs, at their thighs some cracks of a whip as the candlelight room just went dim. The darkness is returning, the myst is reforming, from what I just saw I cannot imagine. But there is indeed a deep emoting.. and now the darkness sits, it's slowly churning, I wonder what is next in our Nightly Journey..
WAIT! Now, it's not over, The myst is coming back into focus. I am seeing something, something different, not like what I have seen before. It's the future but not Praetoria, but something a lot more. I believe I see in the distance as the years pages do turn a brand new focus where shiny is the new green. I'm not quite sure, my freaky darlings, just what it is that I am looking at. The clouds are blocking most of the sunlight, but there in the sliver of light I do see metallic images shimmering, moving..There seems to be the glowing eyes and pieces of armor, they have almost a neon touch but pulsating brighter. I can see now these figures moving through rubble, pursuing fleeing individuals. I can't pinpoint their exact origin but I can tell you now it's not a place I'd want to be alone. These gigantic creatures, no, they look like player run? robotic features, moving swiftly, one just shot into the air. A permanent fixture yet to move from their spine, and rotating around them is a weapon I am not familiar, it's some type of energy beam caught in a terrible rapture. A beautiful display these ions do show but at closer look this ring brings less than life as the cornered trio is now vanished, the myst did not hold, I'm sorry my darlings. It looks like we're onto something else, something with eyes of crimson I can now see almost as if this beast is staring back at me..I got chills...
Here we go, the myst is rotating, it's shifting into a figure I have seen before. Fur rustles in the wind as this creature runs over the ruins. A shift, like before, I can see it with my own eyes, it's body is molding in midjump. It landed from four feet to two, nimble as a cat and silent too. A stalker of the most truest fashion, darting now out of a search light from what though? Something in the sky, elevated way too high, I cannot make out this imposing creation but something tells me it's alien in nature. Possibly looking for an escapee but she is light on her feet and it seems as I can turn the ball, her movement is quicker than the light's draw. She's rushing now in a bound into the air and what was perhaps fur to human is now feathers and in flight she disappeared... the darkness is returning, but I want to see more! The ball is cracking but I will not give in just yet. Keep feeding this orb as I am sure it's not done...
Here it comes, I'm holding it together! The slight is seeping, pouring out! But I will endure for your all sanity and what is left of mine. Show us more of what they want! Here! The image is focusing, we're going in faster! It's hard to tell but I will muster! There, it's breaking, the dawn's light is showing. A sea is shining below with the surface glistening, and what looks to be a pulsing pillar but it's under assault! What is that sound? Cannon fire? From where? No an explosion! The pillar just fell to the ground! Resistence is there but they are not attacking the Praetorian Police?! I see a faction on the beach breaking down a protective feature I believe! There, it is! Pounding fists, raging storms, there are wooden things throughout the air! I see martial artists from far and near, is that a blaster? Groups of eight wearing clothing I have never seen with a Master at the helm! All are gathering to the sound of domination, a wolf's beckoning is harking and the sides are clashing. But I now see, as I stare down from my aerial flight, I see tentacles rising from the depths. I hear the cry that silences all and from the depths come... Oh No... Darlings.. it's can't be, If I am seeing what I think I am... the future is grim, all must gather to stand against the return of ... Wait! NO! Come back! The image is fading too fast! Everything is blending, and the ball is intense! The heat pouring out is causing an alarm! Hit the deck my Sexy Capesters it's going to blow!!!
It's gone... the ball went up in smoke, all that is left is a pile of residue. It seems your wants, needs, and desires was too much power for it to maintain. And I have soot in places most obscene. Well, that was the nightly adventure. I'm exhausted and I don't even know where to begin. All I can say is the hints were given, and it's up to you all to figure out. Many in plain sight, some hidden in rhyme; the only question is now - Can you figure it out.. In time? I'm going now, for a shower and a scrub. But Don't worry, as these type of adventures have been happening all across the Servers. You'll never know when or how maybe even why, all that is known is when it happens just give it a try.
I look forward to seeing what people come up with. -
Quote:Awesome. I assume Assault would be a strong choice for Plant doms then, right?Originally Posted by ketch
Assault does buff Creepers. You can confim it by adding the Pet Combat channel to one of you tabs and toggling it on when you have a Creeper Vine out.
-
I'm wondering if Assault is a valuable power for my Plant/Earth dominator. He's level 34 right now and I do a tremendous amount of soloing with him.
What I want to know is, does Assault buff my Carrion Creepers? -
My budding Elemental-themed RPSG on Virtue could really use the influx of Prestige this would bring.
My global is @Slid Silver, and the SG is called <Elemental Array>. I'd be thrilled to be able to help inform members of this SG, and the several others which I'm a member of, of the awesomeness which is the Real World Hero project. -
Quote:...you have Hide bound to a key?!Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I have the power bound to B, and I have Sprint bound to V. I've had several instances when I've accidentally hit B instead of V, and I am then stuck not starting the next fight for 30 seconds, or however long. It's just an inconvenience, and it feels like unnecessary balance by annoyance.
But, yes, that's not the point, I agree.
That's your problem right there. There's zero reason whatsoever to bind Hide to a key. Ever. And especially not to a key that's next to other, commonly pressed keys.
Back to the matter at hand, I completely support a "No Fade" option for all stealth-type powers. -
Quote:Choice of Archetype has already been made, I'm definitely a Corruptor.Originally Posted by AWRocketman
My recommendation would be to go with a TA/A defender instead. You get the big TA powers sooner and the -Res difference on Disruption Arrow and Acid Arrow help make up the difference in damage. The only thing that hurts is not getting RoA until 38, but the other high level archery powers aren't big deals to wait on.
Also, your biggest damage power (Oil Slick) has the same damage for both. -
Quote:I'll be sure to tell him I'm spamming it, he's just not in range. :POriginally Posted by seebs
Do not ignore the largeish inherent accuracy of the archery set. Which is to say, don't worry too much about accuracy. If you have the money, get a kismet +6% accuracy proc in something like combat jumping or hover somewhere in the teens, and you'll have 93% to hit with most of your archery powers without even slotting them for accuracy at all. Note also that it's a multiplier. A 30% accuracy enchancement on a 1.15x accuracy power doesn't give you 1.45, it gives you 1.49. This adds up.
Trick Arrow is a bit frustrating at lower levels, where many of its powers are slightly nerfed versions of stuff from other sets; it only really shines once you get Oil Slick Arrow.
If at all possible, be sure to team with someone who can be counted on to ask you to "use Healing Arrow" halfway through a TF. -
I'm new to Corruptors entirely, though I've played Blasters extensively.
Any advice you can give me on building, slotting, or playing an archer? Even basic advice like which power pools to take or avoid would be great. -
It varies vastly based on the character, all the way from "completed the arc, I'm not an incarnate" to word-for-word accepting all the lore of the arc itself.
My time-traveling Mender is following the game's lore literally. She spoke with Statesman, fought Trapdoor, the whole deal, and is now on "the slow path" collecting Incarnate Shards to become more attuned with her fledgling Incarnate abilities.
My primal "defender of Earth since its creation" elemental character is an Incarnate of Gaia similarly to how Statesman is an Incarnate of Zeus. He's been one since the moment of his creation (by Gaia herself), and will always be one. His power is constant - he's not becoming more powerful ICly as he gains Incarnate slots - he's already at the maximum level of "Incarnate-ness" one can be at.
I don't RP by level, and my Incarnates are powerful because they should be otherwise, not because "omg i am a god nao, bow b4 me." Since I don't RP-fight, conflict is rather moot, but I would never go "um, no, that power doesn't work because I'm an incarnate," and I wouldn't RP with someone who did. -
Tell me his name and I'll make sure he never powerlevels that character again.
...and make a nice profit in the process. Mmmm, 880 million. -
Hopefully I can get some help before i19 hits and every single enhancement in the game gets bought by someone redoing their build for free stamina and incarnate powers.

I've finally gotten my coveted Spines/Dark Armor scrapper to level 50, and the time has come for me to deck him out in glorious IOs - and progress him into Incarnate content.
The problem is, I've got no idea where to start. This will be the first character I've ever built with a plan in mind - my Dark Melee/Shield Defense scrapper has a bunch of IOs, but they're haphazard, purchased because they were available, not as pieces in an organized plan.
My main objectives for my Spines/Dark are, in order of importance:
1. Make him End-Sustainable (I don't want to be staring at an empty blue bar, or be eating blue inspirations like candy just to be able to fight - though I recognize that I won't be able to ignore endurance completely like a Willpower scrapper would).
2. Make him very resilient to damage (I'd like to be able to fight indefinitely against large (x8 difficulty) groups of enemies, relying on Dark Regeneration to recover lost health).
3. Give him powerful offensive capabilities (Though this shouldn't be hard, I want to be able to mow through groups of enemies with the devastating AoE capabilities of Spines and Dark Armor)
His travel power is likely going to be Super Jump (flight is out of character for him, as is teleportation, and I can't stand Super Speed). He's a Hero right now, but I am probably going to turn him into a Rogue to get the AoE confuse power for role-play reasons (though I'm also debating the AoE fear as a Vigilante, so I can stack it with Dark Armor's fear aura).
I have roughly 500 million influence to spend, but I can always earn more if needed.
ANY help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I want this guy to be the crowning jewel of my CoH lineup. -
Quote:Ability to come up with a reason isn't the same as coming up with a compelling, interesting story you enjoy playing.Originally Posted by Stone Daemon
I'll say what I always say in this sort of situation: If you can't think up a reason for your themed character, you aren't trying hard enough.
-
That sucks. I really want Frenzy on my Dominator instead of the lame other powers you get, but I'd like him to be able to visit Paragon from time to time too.

When you change alignment, do you lose any alignment powers you've obtained?
If you change back to a former alignment for which you previously obtained an alignment power, do you get it back, or do you need to wait 7 days again? -
Quote:That's a good idea. Might have to try that in place of desks sometime.Originally Posted by NinjaPirate
You can use the little green Tech containers, they are only 2 and a half units thick, but you'll need a lot of them.
I've on occasion used Large Fluorescent Lamps, dropped down from the ceiling. They make a one unit high floor.

Quote:I was gonna post something of my own, but this sums up my feelings absolutely. Though I'm disappointed it'll be longer until I get a chance to experience this content, making sure it's done right the first time is more important.Originally Posted by Marcian Tobay
Nothing pleases me more than a development team that is willing to delay a project and make it perfect, rather than rush it out and say "Look, it's out on time!" with spit and duct tape still dripping from its stapled sides.
Kudos on the choice. I look forward to the upcoming system.
Kudos indeed. ^_^ -
So far I've gotten a flood of tells from interested players, and recruited several into the group. I'm so excited that people are showing interest, and I hope to hear from more of you soon! ^_^

Hello everyone!
The Role-Play SuperGroup <Elemental Array> is extending a warm welcome to any Elementals of Paragon City. Founded by Silae, a Composite elemental (formed of Earth, Fire, Air, and Water), the group makes its home in the mysterious Nexus, an ever-changing extra-planar landscape comprised of every kind of element. From the volcanic entryway to the underwater medical chamber, the Nexus has a place for elementals of any kind to feel at home.
The group has an OOC global channel, and SG chat functions as a telepathic bond which all its members share. Members are expected to stay active (no parking an alt in the SG and never logging on again), to play in SG mode, and to hang out and socialize with the group.
To join, your character must be an Elemental of some kind. Non-traditional elements (like Steel, Wood, Void, Chaos, Shadow, Psionic, or even Sound) are perfectly fine, as are the classic Earth, Fire, Air, and Water, and such things as Electric or Ice. Composite elementals (combining more than one element) are also welcomed (at least four of our members have such a combination).
Humans (or other beings) transformed into Elemental beings or infused with raw elemental power are accepted as well, though we ask that eventually one of your costume slots be some sort of "Elemental Form." For example, a Fire/Fire Blaster who looks like a human could use her level 30 costume slot to create an orange-skinned "Fire Form" with the Fiery Body aura. Overall, it is our diversity which defines us, and creative backgrounds are encouraged, not shunned.
Our base, though still growing, is a beautiful and efficient design, and we have great plans for it. Eventually, every single element that a character in the SG represents will have a room all to itself, forming a large circle around the Heart of the Nexus, the base's center.
If all this has piqued your interest and you'd like to either join on an existing character or make a brand-new Elemental, contact me at @Slid Silver in-game for more information or an invite to the SG. -
Or, a set (Ooze Command?) where your tiny pets have the option of merging into one larger pet.
Best of both worlds. -
This is relevant to my interests.
*a low hum is heard, building in intensity as a slender blonde woman dons and energizes a high-tech battlesuit*
Level 50 Energy/Energy Blaster locked and loaded. Expect Miss Nuclear to make an appearance at such an event. -
I have a level 27 TA/DP defender right now, and I'm debating whether to reroll him as a DP/TA Corruptor (and make him a Hero once GR hits). Never having played redside seriously, I can't evaluate for myself whether it's worth it to switch ATs for the damage boost.
Will I notice a decrease in my debuff effectiveness?
Will I notice a marked increase in damage?
Is there ANY difference in survivability?
Will I acquire endurance problems suddenly which, as a defender, I can kinda ignore?
Thanks for any help and advice you guys can give me.
